Usage
The Communotron 88-88 is a deployable antenna, and is the antenna with the smallest transmission interval and highest total throughput. The Communotron 88-88 is deployed during science data transmission and retracted when transmission is complete.
The Communotron 88-88 has the greatest antenna power of any antenna. With a level 3 Tracking Station, it can communicate with Kerbin from any planet in the Kerbol system.
Like the Communotron 16, the 88-88 must be deployed before use. Once deployed, it can be broken by aero forces, and must be repaired by an Engineer. Transmitting science will automatically deploy the antenna.
